A fire on Saturday destroyed a carpenter's workshop in the Japata complex in the Agodi Yidi area of Ibadan, along with other stores nearby.
No one died, according to the Chairman of the Oyo State Fire Service, Maroof Akinwande.
He said two metal framed shops used as a carpentry workshop were completely engulfed by the flames when firefighters arrived.
In a separate incident, a shop was destroyed by fire at the Ogo Oluwa shopping complex in the Challenge area of Ibadan.
Akinwande said the blaze was in one of about 180 locked shops in the complex, and that thick smoke was billowing from it when crews got there.
